Bright, vibrant display; Thinner and lighter than competition; Useful fingerprint scanner
Disadvantages of HP EliteBook Folio 1040 G2:
Touchpad has no tactile feedback; Expensive, given its performance
HP's EliteBook Folio 1040 G2 is a sleek and strong 14-inch business laptop that's lighter than the competition, but the touchpad falls flat.
Design
Thin, dark gray and curved at the corners, the sleek HP EliteBook 1040 G2 was designed to fit easily into your travels. Its aluminum-alloy lid prominently features HP's logo, also seen on the bezel below the display. When you open the 1040 G2, you see a wide speaker on the deck, with the webcam and microphones above.
Durability
With an aluminum-alloy deck, the HP 1040 G2 feels strong and durable enough to survive life on the road. The keyboard is spill-resistant, so it can take a few ounces of water, provided you drain it immediately.
Display
The 1040 G2's 14-inch full-HD (1920 x 1080) screen wowed me with rich, lush colors. The pageantry of the early scenes of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire looked great, from the greens of the grassy estate lawns to the orange sparks of Katniss' costume at the start of the games. Dark corners of the abandoned homes also came through well, looking very saturated on the 1040 G2.
The screen rendered 105.4 percent of the sRGB gamut (where 100 percent is a good score), giving it a better range than the Latitude E7450 (91.6 percent), the ThinkPad T450s (100.8 percent) and the category average (77.9 percent).
The 1040 G2's display also fared well on our Delta E color accuracy test, notching a score of 1.3 (close to 0 is ideal). That's also better than the category average (4.25), the Latitude E7450 (1.48) and the ThinkPad T450s (3.9).
Security
The 1040 G2 features HP Sure Start, a self-healing solution against BIOS attacks. If Sure Start detects that the notebook's BIOS has been compromised, it will replace it with a clean, secure version, and provide a log of what went wrong.
Keyboard
With only 1.44 mm of travel and keys that are on the softer and less-clicky side, typing wasn't that enjoyable on the 1040 G2. Using the 10FastFingers typing test, I averaged only 60 words per minute, which is well short of my desktop average score of 67 wpm. The keys on the ThinkPad T450s, which delivered a great typing experience, had 1.9 mm of travel, while the Latitude E7450 had 1.55 mm.
